All Implemented Interfaces:

Callable, FunctionItem, GroundedValue, Item, Sequence

public class ApplyFn
extends SystemFunction

This class implements the function fn:apply(), which is a standard function in XQuery 3.1. The fn:apply function is also used internally to implement dynamic function calls.

ApplyFn

public ApplyFn()

Method Details

getResultItemType

public ItemType getResultItemType(Expression[] args)

Get the return type, given knowledge of the actual arguments

Overrides:

getResultItemType in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

args - the actual arguments supplied

Returns:

the best available item type that the function will return

makeOptimizedFunctionCall

public Expression makeOptimizedFunctionCall(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
 ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo,
 Expression... arguments)
                                     throws XPathException

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Allow the function to create an optimized call based on the values of the actual arguments

Overrides:

makeOptimizedFunctionCall in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

contextInfo - information about the context item

arguments - the supplied arguments to the function call. Note: modifying the contents of this array should not be attempted, it is likely to have no effect.

Returns:

either a function call on this function, or an expression that delivers the same result, or null indicating that no optimization has taken place

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is detected

call

public Sequence call(XPathContext context,
 Sequence[] arguments)
              throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the values of the arguments. The first argument is the function item to be called; the second argument is an array containing the arguments to be passed to that function, before conversion.

Returns:

the result of the evaluation, in the form of a SequenceIterator

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression

exportAttributes

public void exportAttributes(ExpressionPresenter out)

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Export any context attributes held within the SystemFunction object. The implementation will normally make one or more calls on out.emitAttribute(name, value).

Overrides:

exportAttributes in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

out - the export destination

importAttributes

public void importAttributes(Properties attributes)

Import any attributes found in the export file, that is, any attributes output using the exportAttributes method

Overrides:

importAttributes in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

attributes - the attributes, as a properties object
